I upgraded 12.10, donated some money to Ubuntu, and ran `sudo apt-get
remove unity-lens-shopping`

I’m not against a monetization strategy with Amazon as a partner. I’m
not even against remote searches. I am, however, totally against remote
searches in the home lens.

I am open to compromise. The home lens could be configurable to turn
certain things off and other things on. Prefixing queries with the
protocol "buy:" could override my settings since my intent to buy would
be clear. There are several ways to solve this and make (most of) the
people subscribed to this issue happy.

Until that day I will keep removing this feature using `sudo apt-get
remove unity-lens-shopping` and keep telling everyone else to do the
same.  The day  Dash Home is configurable, I will re-install and
encourage others to do so as well.

I know this is not a blog and that these types of soliloquies aren't
welcome  in "bug reports" but let's be honest, this  is clearly a debate
between Canonical HQ and opposing viewpoints.  For this issue to be
closed in good faith a compromise must be found.

Thank you for your consideration.
